January 27, 2008

Men’s Hockey: Too much time in the box

January 27, 2008

By Jonathan Raymond The post-streak struggles continued this weekend for the Huskies as they dropped a pair of games to Providence, losing 5-1 Friday night at Matthews Arena and 5-2 Saturday in Providence. Friday night started harmlessly enough, with NU and Providence deadlocked...

After 10 years, a charity celebrates, students perform

January 27, 2008

Forks and Spoons

January 27, 2008

Everyone suffers from a first kiss. I say "suffer" because no one actually enjoys this kiss. It's usually sloppy, wet and consequently makes you gag. My first kiss happened when I was in sixth grade, on a porch swing, in my aunt's backyard. It wasn't memorable, and it is nothing...

Professor retires after pushing norms

January 27, 2008

By Rachel Zarrell When Joseph DeRoche applied to be an instructor at Northeastern in 1965, the vice president interviewing him noticed he wasn't married. "He said, 'I see you haven't found the right woman,' and I said 'yes,'" DeRoche remembers. "But if I turned around and...

Letter to the Editor: Chartwells ‘troubling’ to vegetarians

January 27, 2008

In response to your article "Campus dining halls serving approximations, not information" (Jan. 17), it was shocking to discover that the district manager of Chartwells readily admits that the information provided about ingredients and health details are simply "approximations...

Springfest committee makes moves

January 27, 2008

Jeff Maimon helped fill 4,000 seats in Matthews Arena last year for a Springfest concert lineup that sold out in less than seven hours. Still, as he gears up for his second tour at the helm of the large concert committee for the Council for University Programs (CUP), Maimon...
